Giant Bombcast 01-18-2011

Who's law?

dear giant bomb, namely brad and ryan,
please stop saying that raskulls doesnt have meat boy controls.
raskulls is a completely different game and it does not need meat boy controls. it is responsive and does everything you tell it to, you dont need to be able to turn in mid air when you are jumping super fast. that is not how this game is.
dont suck at games and then blame it on the controls, any failing you experience in that game is because you are making mistakes. 
 
thank you

Keep fighting the good fight Jeff! Bring back the Nintendo release list! Down with Ryan Davis' tyranny!

Fucking FOOD TALK!!!! I'm stuck dealing with the moods of the dining hall at college (since I don't have any disposable income atm), and there's almost never good asian food anywhere. I WANT some good chicken, Kung Pao, Pad Thai, or whatever!

I am not doubting it or saying that Jeff can't have that opinion. I just don't like the fact that he's the only one who played it so all they can say is "that doesn't seem like it's fun" but it's base of his let's use the word biased opinion for lack of a better term that his negative. Just like my opinion is biased torward the appreciation I have of it. 
 
I just don't like also how he is seeing that no one can have any fun with that game and how he is acting like a Simpsons character "eueueueuueue" everytime someone bring the game after that like the game is a joke and a piece of shit. 
 
He doesn't have to like it but he is to categoric about it.

What a very pleasant surprise. My face lit up when I heard Alex was this week's guest. He's easily my favorite guest on the Bombcast. Too bad he doesn't become a permanent member of the Bombcast staff.

it's the same on the pc if you have all of the content first.

Updated Super Stardust HD on my stock 60GB PS3 to 5.00 flawlessly. *shrug*

Can we at least have the Nintendo store music for part of the podcast still, even without reading the games?

 Appreciated that you left out the Nintendo  downloadables segment. That shit hurt my ears :-)

I just wanted to point out that I love listening to the DSIware and Nintendo downloadable releases because Jeff's false enthusiasm is amazingly entertaining. I don't even own a Nintendo product. As far as I'm concerned, if he decided to read corporate stockholder releases from random companies with that same overly enthusiastic sarcasm, I would listen! 
 
This, my friends, is why anyone, ever, gives a crap about Jeff's DSIware announcements:

I just want to say: Thank you, thank you, thank you for removing that too long and too tired segment of what is otherwise a near perfect podcast.
 
Oh, and please... DON'T COME BACK.
 
(I say this both for my personal enjoyment, and for your personal self-respect)

What I meant is that he is biased negatively while I may be biased positively.

Also English is my second language so stop being douchey when you can clearly understand the big picture of what I meant.

Or if you prefer, his judgment of the game as a whole is tainted by his dislike of the game or some areas of the game. It seemed like, since he didn't like some part he was exaggerating what he didn't like about the game until it was a 2/5. I am not saying he did that on purpose, most of the time it's unconscious, just like when we like a game it may become the greatest game of all time despite the flaws that all game have, no game is perfect.  

So his opinion is too "biased" or inclined in negativity while mine may be too positive but I don't think so, becauseI have many gripe with the game, but I still like it. The game is not a 5 but it sure is not a 2. It is at best a 4, at worst a 3. But it's not the score that bothers me that much but the general impression he is leaving to the rest of the crew and some readers/listeners that is leading them to believe that the game is an absolute piece of trash when it isn't.  

That's why I think that when you want to trash a game (or give it a perfect score) someone else should have played it to see if that reviewer was absolutely right. We won't argue about Naugthy Bear but there's some people out there who would give Uncharted a 2 but that's based on their opinion and what they like and don't. If the reviewers goes in with the state of mind that "this is not WoW" it's already lost. And like I said someone could hate the game while other may love it because DCUO is NOT a bad game, but some people will love it some will hate it, he hated it.  

So I just wish someone else could have played it to balance the this is trash opinion he has or give it more weight if they both agree. But in the current state all they could do was listen to him selling them on how that game was bad and say “Oh this doesn’t sound like the game I want to play.”, which is obvious since he hated the game.
   

Is the Green Lantern in the DC universe online game BLACK or WHITE????? 

I love Alex but HATE it when Vinny isn't on. Vinny is the best Giant Bomb staffer. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist and should be set on fire.

Who's here for the Bombcast?  I'm grilling up durgers.

Awesome as always

Go BombCast go! Interested in hearing about Vinnies 3DS impressions.

Bombcast meme, bomcast meme, Jeff getting fired from Gamespot reference. Am I doing it right?

Where's my Bombcast!

Is there a petition to re-include the Nitendo downloads as part of the Bombcast?  I personally don't own a Wii, but hearing that list every week makes me happy!

please give me my bcast - I really don't want to have to watch the state of the union.

DCUO is garbage. If you've played Champions Online, it's that, except really bad.
 
Champions makes it feel like you're just going through the motions after a few hours, DCUO is like that after 10 minutes. Now you take away the style of CO, the amount of costume pieces available at creation, all the cool powers, and what do you have? A barebones, licensed, pile of garbage. It's hard to believe how hyped this game is for how little it has to offer. Do yourself a favor and play CO if you want a superhero game, it's free, and it's pretty fun for a while. At least when you get bored and uninstall that you won't be out 50 bones. There are better games with the DC license as well if that's what your draw to the game is.
